Ho-hum to the Chief: Students tune out
By JAMES MERRIWEATHER / The News Journal
01/21/2005

If the second inauguration of President George W. Bush was one for the history books, then a big sampling of Caesar Rodney High School students seemed perfectly willing Thursday to wait for the delivery of the new volumes.

A lunchtime audience paid scant notice to six 27-inch television sets carrying the broadcast of inaugural activities in Washington.


<<<snip>>>

Several students suggested a change of channel. When Fitzgerald gave a thumbs-up to an associate to turn up the volume, several students around the room replied with thumbs down.

One student, eating a tuna sub, wanted to know why the televisions were on at all.

"The focus of their attention is food first, then their friends, and, third, maybe the TVs," Fitzgerald said.

1. I guess they had already met their bullshit quota for the day
There's only so much bullshit you can foist on a child before rebellion sets in. That's what I love about young people.
